At a glance
Two private beaches, four pools, an Arnold Palmer golf course and five dining venues on Costa Rica’s Pacific Gold Coast, all within one of Latin America’s most celebrated resort properties.
Positioned at the tip of the exclusive Papagayo Peninsula, the Four Seasons here occupies a setting that has to be seen to be believed. Two golden-sand beaches flank the property on either side, four pools step down toward the Pacific, and 181 rooms, suites and private residences are finished in indigenous wood and stone, most with direct ocean or forest-canopy views.
The dining program alone is amazing, with three distinct chefs to sample food from. Pesce handles Italian with local Pacific seafood, Bahia runs a wood-fired Latin grill, and Añejo covers tapas and crudos.
Beyond the property, the peninsula delivers endless activities. Surfing at Witch’s Rock, an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, zip-lining through the canopy, and some of the best sport fishing on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.
Highlights
- Canopy suites overlook dry tropical forest from a private hillside, some with plunge pools.
- Private residence estates include a dedicated butler and daily restocked complimentary pantry.
- All 181 rooms blend indigenous wood and stone finishes with ocean or forest views.

Further information
Dining
Dining runs deep across eight restaurants and bars. Pesce handles Italian with local seafood and ocean views. Bahia works a wood-fired Latin grill, while Nemare delivers an American steakhouse at the golf clubhouse. Añejo flips from morning acai bowls to evening tapas and DJ sets. Virador Beach Club leans Mediterranean-Levantine, with Palapita, Pool & Beach, and La Reserva filling out the rest.
Wellness
Wellness centers on the Wellness Shala, where multi-level yoga, sound baths, breathwork, and Reiki run alongside a deep spa menu. Treatments draw on Costa Rican ingredients (volcanic clay, cacao, coffee) and global techniques like Thai massage and a Hammam ritual. Facials use Biologique Recherche and ISUN. For longer programs, the private Wellness Villa at Casa del Mar handles bespoke retreats.
Location
The resort sits on Peninsula Papagayo in Guanacaste, on Costa Rica’s northwestern Pacific coast, around 26km north of Liberia and its international airport. The site spreads across a private peninsula, with rooms and villas set in the jungle above the ocean. Multiple bays, Pacific sunsets, and access to surf, golf, and adventure trails all sit within the gated community.
Costa Rica
The list of things to do is endless. Costa Rica has beaches, rainforests, ravines to white water raft down and a capital city which has so much culture for you to find out about. The capital city San Jose might not be the first destination you wish to visit on your vacation, but often people are pleasantly surprised.
Our Experts
For me, the beauty of Costa Rica comes from the fact that it's one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world- and certainly in South America.
Costa Rica is one of the few places where you can combine utter luxury with some of the best adventure experiences in the world.
